#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_mutex_getprioceiling(const pthread_mutex_t *mutex, 
											int *prioceiling);

pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() returns the priority ceiling, prioceiling of a mutex mutex.

On successful completion, pthread_mutex_getprioceiling() returns 0. Any other return value indicates that an error occurred.

If any of the following conditions occurs, pthread_mutexatt_getprioceiling() fails and returns the corresponding value.
